Advanced cancer care to help your pet live a longer and better life.
We understand that seeing your pet experience unusual symptoms or act out of the ordinary can be stressful – especially if you don’t know what’s wrong. Fortunately, our veterinary oncology team is made up of experts in diagnosing and treating cancer, and we’re here to help.
Our commitment is not just to treat illnesses; it’s to enhance the well-being of your pet and be with you every step of the way.
If your pet has cancer, you’ll have an entire oncology team helping to improve your pet’s quality of life so you can get back to what matters most – spending precious moments together.
Your pet will receive unparalleled medical care during their time at the hospital (and they’ll be spoiled with love and attention, too).
Your pet can’t tell us what’s wrong, so we use sophisticated diagnostics and imaging tools to uncover the source of the problem.
Just as no two patients are the same, neither are their treatment plans. Our oncology team has experience with a range of advanced procedures and minimally invasive options to get your pet on the path to wellness, including:
Experience makes all the difference.
Our oncology team is made up of veterinarians, vet technicians and assistants, and support staff with rigorous training and experience in specialty medicine. The team works hand in hand to provide the comprehensive, compassionate care your pet needs and deserves. Because we’re a multidisciplinary hospital, the team can consult the expertise of other specialty departments, too.
Dr. Todd Erfourth likes how rapidly the oncology field is evolving especially with the increasing availability of immunologic and molecular targeted therapies. He finds treating lymphoma cases particularly gratifying.
Dr. Erfourth’s favorite pastimes include golf, going to the movies, running and travel. He and his wife have a boxer mix named Bentley and two cats, Moses and Cringer.
Dr. Rebecca Newman worked as a researcher at the National Institute of Child Health and Development in Bethesda, Maryland before vet school. She chose the veterinary medical oncology field because it allowed her to combine her love of research and molecular biology with medicine. Extensively published, she has been invited to make presentations at numerous conferences and continuing education events.
Dr. Newman has an active lifestyle and loves playing sports, like ice hockey and soccer, and running after her children. In her quieter time, she enjoys baking and gardening.
Dr. Bridget Urie’s particular clinical interests include hematopoietic malignancies, thyroid carcinoma, immune-mediated hematologic disorders, and palliative, hospice and end-of-life care.
Dr. Urie volunteers her time with local shelters and off-the-track thoroughbred rescue and rehoming organizations. She enjoys Auburn football, Pirates baseball, photography and just about anything outdoors. She and her husband, another veterinarian, have many pets: Googie, the lymphoma-surviving boxer; Samford T. Coats, the geriatric lab; cats Weagle C. Newton and CBSB; Shrimp, an off-the-track thoroughbred; and Fina, a retired, bay thoroughbred.
